1: Installing speakers

To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel

surround sound requires five speakers

(two front speakers, a center speaker, and two

surround speakers) and a sub woofer

(5.1 channel).

CCenter speaker

DSurround speaker (L)

FSub woofer

Tip

Since the sub woofer does not emit highly

directional signals, you can place it wherever you

want.

Before you install the speakers and sub

woofer, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads

to prevent vibration or movement as shown in

the illustration below.

For greater flexibility in positioning the

speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or

WS-FV10D speaker stand (available only in

certain countries). For details, refer to the

operating instructions supplied with the

speaker stand.

Getting Started

You can install your front and surround

speakers on the wall.

1 Prepare screws (not supplied)

that are suitable for the hole on

the back of each speaker as

shown in the illustrations

below.

2 Fasten the screws to the wall.

The screws should protrude 5

to 7 mm.

3 Hang the speakers on the

screws.

Notes

• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material

and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially

fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and

fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a

vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is

applied.
